Audio Control of Voice-Activated Devices

Abstract

The present invention relates to a system consisting of an electronic device that includes a speaker (a “speaker device”) which is connected to the Internet and can play speech using data received by the speaker device, and an application hosted on a server that enables speech data to be sent to the speaker device, such that when the speaker device is placed in audio proximity to a voice-activated device, the speaker device is capable of playing speech that is audible to the voice-activated device.

The claims for the invention are: 
     
         1 . A system consisting of an electronic device that includes a speaker and is connected to the Internet and can play speech using speech data received by said device, an application hosted on a server connected to the Internet that enables speech data to be sent to said device, and a mobile app or browser interface that communicates with said application via the Internet to enable a user to create and control speech commands, such that when said device is placed in audio proximity to a voice-activated device, said device is capable of playing speech commands that are audible to the voice-activated device. 
     
     
         2 . The system described in  claim 1  where said application enables a user to speak into a mobile device or computer and plays the speech in real-time as streaming audio data to said speaker device. 
     
     
         3 . The system described in  claim 1  where said application enables a user to upload speech files to be stored and sent as speech data to said speaker device upon user initiated events. 
     
     
         4 . The system described in  claim 1  where said application enables a user to type text that can stored and sent as speech data to the speaker device. 
     
     
         5 . The system described in  claims 1 - 4  where said application enables the speech data to be sent to said speaker device on a schedule set by a user.
